Subject: America silent as
nation is systematically destroyed
This linked article from the Canada
Free Press is dead on.
I am sending this to various people, thus I am sending this BCC so
that I do not give away people's email addresses.
Some of you
participated in
the
recent TEA Parties--which probably surpassed
a million attendees nationally. These Tea parties were held at
over 800 locations nationally on
April 15th. The mass media gave it little
coverage and dismissed
it as being a event
organized and recruited
by
Fox News and the Republican
Party.
I went
to the
one in Sacramento and
several thousand attended, many attendees were
Democrats. I understand that in some cities the
attendance was 10,000 or more. If the average attendance was
only just over a thousand, this
makes the national attendance a million,
perhaps
much more. This is a lot of people to have taken
the time to attend an event
during a week day. Most of
these people probably never attended any political
rally before. Obviously, many people are concerned
with what is happening in this
country.
I don't
know about you, but what
is happening in our
country is eating away at me. I am not just
embarrassed by our leaders, I am becoming fearful. Corruption is rampent and government waste
is beyond
comprehension. And, I do not look
forward to the almost certain devaluation of our dollar by 50% or
more
over the next
few
years.
While being bombarded daily by new and
destructive actions
taking place by our government leaders, I cannot stop thinking about
how to get the public at
large to see what is
happening and
start working together
to restore our nation
to the founding principles--which
include limited government, freedom from a state
imposed religion (atheistic
secular humanism), liberty,
and the protection of property rights.
With a state run monopoly school system having dumbed down
our youth
for
the past 50+ years,
rampent political correctness
squelching freedom of expression, and
a media sold out to the elitists (elitists being those
who think they are better than
us and seek to manipulate us as
pawns for their political ambitions
and social experimentation)
and promoting the elitist
agenda at
every
turn -- it is depressing to
face the horrific challenge ahead if those who love freedom are to gain control
over our diminishing republic.
I can
only
hope that more than
50% of the public are still receptive to
a restoration of
freedom and sanity to
this nation. If this is so, then
we need to establish credibility across
this nation, that responsible,
caring
citizens
are
dead on concerned about
stopping the political elitists from
taking control and systematically destroying this country as
they
conduct their
social experiments
in progressivism,
socialism, or whatever
brand of "ism" they see as
their
dream
society.
At this
point, I do not see the Republican
Party as part of
the solution. In
fact, if they cannot
break free of
the party machine mentality,
they
are probably more of
an obstacle to progress.
To win control of this nation
away from
the elitists, and
back being a republic that
is responsive to its citizenry, it is going to take much more than a platform (such
as the Republican Platform that Republican
Party considers
as optional for its elected
leaders to follow),
is going to take a real
plan of action--an
agenda.
$11 trillion dollars and
growing ($11,000,000,000,000.00). We cannot even conceive of
that much money. That is
what
has been spent on the war on poverty since the mid
1960's. And, the current administration
is going to add again
that
much
deficit over
the next decade. The
money has been and is being used
to empower the elitists,
grow government, and
systematically undermine and destroy the less
advantaged
in this country--promoting a life
of dependence on government
handouts, while also promoting illegitimacy and
destruction of the family unit. The Republican
Party has historically ignored these
people, simplifying the solution
into vague arguments that
the
free enterprise
system
will solve all ills.
Well, with the changes in our
society over the
past 80 or so years
(in public education,
private
property rights, and
laws impacting small businesses and small entrepreneurships), the less
advantaged have no real hope for
overcoming the
obstacles. Only a few make it out of the multi-generational cycle of poverty/mediocrity;
most
get caught up in
the system.
If we are going to
recapture this
nation for liberty and freedom--we have to develop
an agenda that addresses specifically what is
needed
to restore the educational
system (school choice/vouchers
being one option)
so that the poor can
receive a first class education rather than
a dumbed down version more oriented
to social indoctrination than true
education. We have to restore the rights of private property so that
if a
poor person can
purchase a plot or land,
they
can build on it
without being overwhelmed by property taxes, impact fees, building departments, and then get further taxed on their sweat equity. And, we need
to remove
the laws and litigation that surrounds small business endeavors so that the poor
can participate without
having to do it "under the table."
Yes,
we have to
deal
with illegal immigration and the oversight
in our Constitution that permits a baby born to an
illegal
alien to automatically be a U.S.
citizen. Since nothing in Mexico has
stopped the process of its citizens wanting to
flee to the US to
gain
some
economic advantage--I
suggest
that
maybe the US government needs
to get
serious and declare "economic war
on Mexico" and
set about forcing Mexico to address the corruption that leads to lack
of economic opportunity for the average citizen
in that country. Of
course, to do this, we have to address the
corruption
in our own country.
Why do we permit our
elected representatives
to be
pounded by paid lobbyists? Shouldn't we,
the grass roots be involved in any process
that
affects
our representatives representing us?
It seems
to me that if lobbyists want
to lobby for something,
that effort should be done at the local level.
If we the electorate agree on
a plan proposed by a lobbyist, then we should
endorse our representative backing that plan.
Otherwise, it seems like we have systemic
corruption in our government
due to the lobbying efforts in
Washington, Sacramento, and elsewhere.
Then
take a look at what all the "green" is
doing to our nation.
While we all want to
protect our environment, do we
want it controlled by alarmist hysterics
that crush our economy and
citizenry?
A lot of issues need to be addressed. Those who want
simplistic single
issue solutions, such as "no
more taxes" are not going to reach the broad base that
could possibly support a
real voter revolution, capable of
restoring control
of the houses of government
to "statesmen"
representatives
(no more politicians)
who truly represent the expressed
interests of
the people.
A great
problem
we face is
that
we have no cohesive agenda,
no grass roots
organization, no access
to the various media, or real method of
generating the revolution
necessary to take control
of the federal
House
and Senate in 2010 or restore our state government.
We cannot
look to our elected representatives, for where do we find
elected
Republican officials who
are
not more sold out to getting
re-elected, pandering to special
interests and playing political games--than in being straight
shooters, who have core values and
having the
integrity to go
to the mat to promote those values?
Remember the
preamble to the U.S. Constitution: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic tranqulity, provide
for
the common defense, promote
the general welfare,
and
secure the Blessings
of Liberty to ourselves and
our posterity, do ordain
and establish this Constitution for
the United States of America.
It is time
the grass roots
started getting organized by the grass
roots (not politicians).
Let
me know if you want
to discuss what we can do to be pro-active on getting this
country back
on track.
thanks,
Don
